Night Care Assistant Jobs in Burgess Park

Looking after someone through the night in their own home — waking or sleeping nights — so families can finally get some rest. PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families around Burgess Park, Southwark who need thoughtful overnight support. Right now, 224 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight work varies: waking nights involve regular checks, personal care, medication prompts and companionship; sleeping nights mean you’re on-site and available while the family rests. Shifts are in people’s own homes in and around Burgess Park; you’ll often cover local streets and nearby areas such as Walworth, Bermondsey, Camberwell, Peckham, Elephant and Castle and Denmark Hill. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the nights you work. Typical rates for this kind of role are £17–£19 per hour.

This type of work suits carers with at least a year’s experience who want more control than agency rosters allow — choose clients who match your skills and decide whether you prefer waking or sleeping nights. PrimeCarers handles the client introductions, contracts, invoices and payments for you, and insurance is included while you’re working through the platform. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check — we can help arrange one if you don’t already have it
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

We don’t ask you to accept shifts that don’t suit you. You pick your clients, your hours and your service area across Burgess Park and nearby neighbourhoods. If you’re used to agency life but want to keep the stability of regular night work while earning what you decide to charge, this model can give you that flexibility and independence without the paperwork — PrimeCarers takes care of it.

Deciding between waking and sleeping nights is down to your preference and the needs of the family: some carers prefer the steady activity of waking nights, others value the quieter routine of sleeping nights. Whatever you prefer, you’ll be working in people’s homes in Burgess Park where reliability, calm and experience matter more than anything.

Ready to start? The application only takes a few minutes, and once we verify your references and checks your profile usually goes live within days. If you have questions about joining or need help with a DBS for work in Southwark, get in touch and we’ll guide you through the next steps.
